On soils that are low in pH, especially below 6.6, phosphorus is less available to the growing crop.

Iron and aluminum are more soluble in acid soils and react readily with phosphorus making it unavailable to most plants. 2. On soils were soil test values indicates the available phosphorus is low, band applications usually results in higher uptake of phosphorus by plants, 5. On soils that have a history of severe weed problems, band placement of phosphorus as well as other nutrients will be used more efficiently by the crop. However, with the present weed control chemicals, this is not the problem it once was.

4. Many farmers are looking at cutting per acre rates of fertilizer. We do not recommend that they cut rates, but if they do then band placement ahould be considered. 6. Usually more uniformly of application is obtained.

There are some dissdvantages in band placement of fertilizers: 1. Care must be exercised in placement of fertilizer in relation to the seed to avoid "salt burn" to young seedlings, especially during dry weather. 2. Bonding requires more time and labor than do broadcast applications. There are several advantages to broadcast fertilizer applications.

1. Use of higher rates without risk to "salt burn" of seedlings. 2. Allows for more rapid applications which is more convenient and requires less labor. 3.

Is efficient on soils that have pH values of 6.0 or above and testing medium in extractable phosphorus. There are also disadvantages to broadcast applications of fertilizers: 1. A lack of uniformity of application often occurs. 2. Uptake by plants is delayed, especially in a cool, wet spring.

A combination where part of the fertilizer is applied in a band and the rest broadcast is a good practice but added cost must be considered. Most research has shown a greater advantage for band placement on cotton than for corn or' soybeans. With the low rates of phosphorus used for sugarcane, band placement should probably be best. The advantages of band placement of fertilizer must be weighed against the ease, speed, labor-saving, and convenience of 01? ftirljland Dsrcn-tfrsa Parish Newspaper Since 1 869 GOOD QUALITY USED PARTO FOR TRACTORO, cotton pickers.
